Watford vs Sunderland Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Watford need to turn things around against fellow strugglers Sunderland
Walter Mazzarri and David Moyes are two of the most under-pressure coaches in the Premier League at present, with Sunderland rooted to the foot of the table and Watford unable to pick up a win for love nor money.
Match Preview
The away side are seven points from safety at the foot of the table, with it looking increasingly likely that they will be going down this season. The Hornets, meanwhile, are at risk of being dragged down into the relegation mix, and only sit seven points above 18th-placed Hull City.
- - Man United 2-0 Watford
- - Watford 1-1 West Ham
- - Watford 3-4 Southampton
- - Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford
Sunderland have only won three games away from home in the Premier League this season, with Watford having only lost five of their 14 fixtures at Vicarage Road. The form book points toward the Black Cats having difficulties.
In just 13 away fixtures, Sunderland have managed to concede 24 times, with such a poor defensive record unlikely to earn them a share of the spoils. Watford managed three goals against Southampton recently and will hope for more of the same this weekend.
- - Sunderland 0-4 Southampton
- - Everton 2-0 Sunderland
- - Sunderland 0-2 Man City
- - Sunderland 0-0 Burnley
Watford vs Sunderland Prediction and Betting Advice
The injury absences of Mauro Zarate and Roberto Pereyra are bound to affect Watford’s creativity, with Valon Behrami struggling for fitness. Sunderland, however, have eight players on the treatment table.
Lamina Kone will be an important defender to return into the mix for Sunderland, but without him, it is tough to see how Watford will not be able to pick up a much-needed victory on home turf.
